That beautiful china vase

Whether you want it or not, at least once in your life time you will be left broken hearted. For some people like moi, it unfortunately happened more than once. But after a few..weeks of self-analyzing, watching sappy love movies and sitting at home in hope of a miracle, I realized that the only way I will get that miracle is by getting out of my house and enjoying life. Honestly I never imagined myself being that typical broken hearted girl, who sits at home and wallows in her own misery. For a small blonde chick I always had a lot of attitude and strength, mainly because my life had been bumpy for a while. And who could've thought that a silly little boy,yes a boy, could break something I've been building for such a long time. Love is a scary thing my friends. When you devote yourself to a person you basically have a 50% chance of being left broken hearted. It's like when you buy a beautiful china vase. You spend months or even years looking for that one special vase, and when you finally find it, you spend a fortune on not just the vase, but also the special little stand, the installation and whatever else you need to make sure it doesn't fall and break. But guess what, shit happens. Time passes and you kinda forget about how much you spent on that vase, you forget how much it meant to you at that moment, and it's just standing there without anyone paying attention to it. Then one day, someone accidentally pushes it and it breaks. And yeah, you can try to glue it back together but it will never be the same again. All you have left is the memory of how beautiful it once was. The same thing with love. You spend years looking for something special, and then when you find it you give your all to that one person. But time passes, and the vase breaks. The love falls apart. And all you have left is the memory. But what you don't realize at that moment is that there are plenty of other vases out there, that might not be the same, but are just as beautiful and maybe made out of a better material that won't break so easily. Something that will shine on everyday and remind you of how beautiful it is. There's this Russian saying that goes like:" the only way to cure a broken heart is by falling in love again." So don't give up. Just because you've been hurt before doesn't mean things won't get better. I don't know if everything happens for a reason, but what I do know is that every bad experience is a lesson. And the more you learn, the wiser you get. So keep your head up, and keep smiling. Because as Marilyn Monroe once said: " life is a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about."
